No contest pleas have been entered by a former Quincy teacher in Branch County Circuit Court.

Court personnel say that Jason Ferrell entered the no contest pleas on two counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct Monday afternoon. He was charged after allegedly having a sexual relation with a former female student in 2016.

Court officials say if the pleas are accepted, two more counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct and two first degree criminal sexual conduct charges would be dismissed by the Branch County Prosecutor's Office.

Sentencing is set for January 29.

Ferrell is also charged with three counts of criminal sexual conduct in Calhoun County, which is where he was living when he was arrested.
